r/Maliciouscompliance My Boss Fired Me, Then BEGGED Me to Come Back! 

The mother in law story....why were people listening to the MIL rather than the actual mother? I mean if someone I know said they were having a boy and their MIL kept saying no, it's a girl, I know it's going to be a girl....and the mother kept saying no, that's not true....pretty sure I'm gonna believe the person actually giving birth

The mother-in-law sounds crazy, she just doesn’t give any consideration to the mother and calls her “childish”?!? She is so unhinged, imagine phoning a mother up and SCREAMING at her for… dressing her baby in the clothing you had everyone buy?!

When my then 24 year old brother and his wife had their son, his MIL made a big deal about not wanting him in "girly" clothes. My mother who had 5 boys of her own gifted the baby a lavender outfit that said "Grandma loves me". My nephew was adorable in it!

"The elders are uncomfortable with the baby wearing girly clothes." Lmfao that's not their problem. It's just clothes, plus y'all refused to listen to OP.

Historically? Pink was masculine and blue was feminine. And a 100 years ago. Almost all babies and kids were rocking a white dress. Cause it was easiest to dress and maintain cleanliness

I have a 4 month old daughter, I dress her in gamer onesies, Pokemon, dinosaurs and some animal ones. She just likes getting a new outfit, so I can confirm with Rslash, babies don't care about clothes

“Sorry but, these are the only clothes we received from the baby shower! We can’t just throw the gifts away, and you made SURE that the name and gender were wrong, sooo…?”

The baby in that one story, he has a big future of entitled family members ahead of him

Boss: "You're fired!" Also Boss: "Please come back!!" OP: "No." Also Also Boss: *Surprised Pikachu Face*

To the parents that dressed up their new born in the "girl" clothes that they had been gifted, you are amazing parents! All in all, THEY ARE CLOTHES! The elders can get over it and themselves, because the parents did what they felt was best. Blessed be.

How could people believe the mil about the baby’s gender over the actual pregnant lady? That makes no sense

The boss who thought that OP wouldn't leave. Dude, I'm getting a new job in the same company so my commute won't get affected. Also, it's $12K more than what I asked for so I will definitely take up that offer.

sometimes I wonder if Rslash will stop with the silly jokes... then I remember he's a dad now and they have ascended to dad jokes and no one can escape them.

"she calls me a prostitute" "the owner calls me herself" So twice the same insult.

Baby clothes argument is like formula vs breastfeeding. As long as they're clothed and fed nothing else matters. If baby Roosevelt can rock a baby dress, so can anyone else.

The baby clothes story: It actually reminded me of something my mom has told me several times. When I was a baby my mom would always dress me in pretty dresses, lots of pink, and pretty bows. Yet for some reason this 1 neighbor always asked my mom “how is _he_ doing?” My mom would always say _”she_ is doing good!” According to my mom he kept referring to baby me dressed in pink dresses and bows as a _he_ no matter how pink the dress or how big the bow or how many times my mom said I was a girl. It still makes me laugh many years later.

Jokes on that family that are upset that a baby boy is being dressed in pink: Color theory wise pink is technically a _masculine_ color! Since it's a tint of red, a masculine color. Blue is the feminine color.

Lol I love how they refer to the baby’s clothes as “masculine”, like… does anyone view a baby as either “masculine” or “feminine”? It’s a potato

I have 2 older brothers and 1 older sister that is just 1 year older than me. Everybody assumed I would be a girl, thinking it would make the perfect 2 boys 2 girls family and that the 2 sisters with a 1 year difference would be the best friends in the world. They didnt make any test, they didnt even think of a boys name. When I popped with the unexpected thing between my legs, they had to think of a name on the fly and my parents didn't even agree. My father had to leave to finish his final exams in another country. He came back like 4 weeks later and was calling me the wrong name and my mother and grandma (who was helping since my father was away) were calling me another name, they finally kept my mothers choice because of it and I'm kind of happy cause my father's choice was really bad. And to be 1 year appart from my sister did make me a man than is not totally clueless about women, which kind of helps.

My father in law was a year from retiring and his boss couldn’t fire him for anything bc he didn’t have any complaints or write ups his entire employment, but they found a way. They said someone had filed anonymous sexual assault charges and fired him due to “him providing a poor work environment” when he was their only maintenance operative and didn’t give him any time to collect evidence to defend himself so instead they gave him 2 options 1. We call the cops and get them to do a thorough investigation and charge him currently with sexual misconduct (which would damage his reputation and his 2nd job as a bus driver) 2. Quit collect your belongings and leave

The mum stating that once their son could fit in the dresses, he’d be wearing them had me laughing out loud!!! Brilliant mum! My husband and I were the first to get married and pregnant (he’s the oldest of three boys) on his side of the family. My MIL was literally dying inside to have granddaughters and made sure everyone knew. I LOVE my MIL and I hit the jackpot with her but in the beginning things were tense as I had boundaries. We never found out the sexes of our kids. She was not pleased but went with it. Then she was crying that I was not allowing her in the delivery room to see her first grand baby born. My husband and I were both pretty creeped out about that request to be honest! We told her, if you weren’t there for conception, you aren’t there for delivery. Didn’t matter in the end as I had an emergency c-section to…A GIRL!! All was quickly forgotten and she was trying to fill my house with pink. I said ‘please don’t as we plan on having more and infants are in onesies, diapers and swaddled regardless’. Well, I got pregnant again within one year and you guessed it, another girl! I finally said yes to SOME pink. My house looked like a pig blew up! My husband’s brothers had sons, out of wedlock (Catholic family, big no-no) saying they didn’t have time to get married. It was hilarious. I don’t care one way or another, as long as the baby is healthy and they are happy! 23 years later, multiple prom dress shopping, homecoming dress shopping and wedding dress shopping in the future (please Lord give me at least another 5 yrs on that), she’s quite pleased! All the while, my Da has all granddaughters and LOVES it!

"OP seduces high school boys" i- wha- rslash that sounds sus

The pension story: If you're a young person and plan to retire at your current job, and you see them letting go elderly for "little reason." GTFO. Many companies in the U.S. toss aside elderly and deny them their retirement.

That mother in law, no, the whole husband's family is crazy. Why even after she was told the baby was a boy she ignored it and why the family ignored the parents as well? That family has something wrong except for OP's husband.

moral of the story: NEVER SHOW YOUR SHOULDERS

Have an amazingly wonderful day rSlash and everyone reading this! Stay safe today

I hope everyone is having a relaxing Sunday and for those Americans reading this, I hope you have a great 4th of July!

His commentary for that first story made me laugh. I'm currently binge-listening to these while hand sewing a cloak for my sister as a birthday present lol. My sewing machine finally kicked the bucket so a needle and thread it is!

I don't know why they're complaining! Pink was an extremely masculine colour until the last hundred years or so ago!

Early bird gets the worm, or the Rslash vid

So let me get this straight HR. YOU'RE going to fire ME for holding the door open for a wheelchair bound person? *shrug* Fine, but that ALSO means that you AND the CEO gets sacked too. "............. You know, maybe I was being a little rude there". Oh REALLY? Never noticed mate.

A bit off topic, but I appreciate that rSlash has been practicing his dad jokes on us all this time. His baby is gonna be in for a real treat growing up. lol

come on rSlash, shoulders? Seriously? Everyone knows that the ankles are the devil's summoners

"27 seconds ago" Earliest I've been on an Rslash video lol

Safety Officer: "Give Me Your Faxed Permit And Safety Plan NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Op: "Sure I'll Give Your Permit (Laughs) Operation Idiot Is A Go! Me: "Dammmmnnnn Dude Chill Out It's Just A Permit" (To The Safety Officer).

"MIL thought my belly shape was more like a girl then for a boy." Belly shapes do not determine the gender wtf.

the story about OP having a boy instead of a girl and the MIL didn't listen and got mad when they put him in the girls clothes they received. i swear i read somewhere that back in the day, boys wore pink and girls wore blue before somewhere down the line it switched....also babies are just going to spit up on it every second. and at least it has clothes. so good for op they're an awesome mom.

Funny that sewing is mentioned in one of the stories right out of the gate! That is exactly what I am doing as I listen to this video!! But I have to make a TLDR statement that is interesting if you feel like reading a little, lol. Sewing is actually an extremely rewarding skill to have as well as EXTREMELY handy. I’m not talking about simply hand sewing or needlepoint type stuff but rather about machine sewing. Understanding fabrics ranging from cotton and Sunbrella to webbing and leather, pattern making, seam allowance practices, different types of stitches, and specific thread types along with how to correlate them all with using the correct needle and tensions will deliver to you a skill that will serve you a lifetime. I learned to sew when Mom started traveling a lot with my father and wasn’t around to fix stuff when she was gone. I had her show me how to sew and then she told me I would promptly be executed if I touched her high end Swiss Bernina sewing machine. She bought me my own used portable Kenmore machine (that was actually a damn good machine) and I started fixing and making all kinds of stuff. Back then if a guy was sewing and wasn’t specifically a tailor, you got all the “That’s a girls thing” zingers constantly. That is until they saw the stuff I would show up with that I made myself, lol. Custom backpacks, redoing my motorcycle seat with cool heavy duty fabrics, etc. Once I discovered the walking foot machines and bought myself a portable Thompson Mini Walking Foot machine, that’s when the real cool stuff was getting made. Leather and canvas duffel bags, leather messenger book bags for school, and suddenly a few friends were having me show them how to sew, lol. 🤓😎🤓 The two manufacturing processes that you encounter or are engaging with literally 24/7 are sewing and welding. These processes are SO present that they have become invisible to ones daily perception of what is present in their immediate surroundings. Folks don’t realize that they are in contact with stitches every single day as soon as they get dressed and put on their shoes (notice all the different types of stitches and thread used in your clothing and in your shoes) the same as they encounter something metal that is welded as soon as they walk out the door and grab ahold of the welded wrought iron hand rail mounted into the cement on their front porch. Then they jump into the school bus and there is a welded frame and sewn stitches in every seat. Sewing is one of the primary means of “welding” fabrics together but instead of heat and melting metal, it’s stitches with a needle and thread. If you have ever heard the word “textiles”, that is the category that sewing lands under. And speaking of under, when the kids get to school and there is a fabric awning covering the front entrance walkway, those awnings are sewn together the same as the tarp covering the boat in the backyard.it’s EVERYWHERE!!! I started sewing in the 7th grade and now at 56 years old I can honestly say that learning how to sew as a kid was the smartest thing I could have done. Even though I have expertise in a number of different fields ranging from mechanical engagement with light to heavy machinery of through to computer tech method development, the most handy skill I possess that has served me extremely well all my life has been sewing. Today I have two large industrial sewing machines along with a few types of vintage all metal domestic machines from the 1940’s and 1950’s that will outperform ANY plastic throwaway machine made today for straight or zigzag stitching no matter HOW expensive it may be. I have a medium/heavy duty walking foot industrial machine, a vintage Singer 20U33 straight stitch and super wide zigzag industrial machine (probably the most versatile non walking foot machine eager made and this model number vintage is the absolute best version ever produced), a 1952 Pfaff freearm straight/zigzag stitch domestic, a 1949 Pfaff flatbed straight/zigzag stitch domestic, a super powerful early 1970’s Kenmore mini portable that can even stitch through 10 layers of heavy denim or thick non-veg tanned leather, and a few machines as collector/decoration machines from the 1910, 20’s, 30’s, and 40’s. I make my own custom wallets, grill covers, messenger/computer bags that are FAR more heavy duty than would cost probably $700-$1000 if bought in a store. Basically anything I want that is stitched that I can’t find in the stores, I make it myself as well as make tons of gifts for family and friends that are always very much treasured since I made them myself. So the moral or message from the story is this; No matter what direction you head in life be it a laborer on a construction crew, or a lawyer representing that construction laborer in an injury case, learning how to sew will unquestionably raise your own sense of personal confidence and accomplishment the more you engage with the skill to create complex, high quality articles and items. And when you have friends contact you for a little help fixing a ripped or torn item of value to them and you can put it back in their hands as good as new from your sewing skills, it really is a uniquely rewarding feeling. This is going to sound pretty corny, but it’s actually absolutely true. Aside from your career or hobbies including sporting activities, everything becomes a more rewarding long term experience if you know how to sew. There is just something unique about sewing that gives a very different inner boost knowing you can make it or fix it if it has stitches, which is basically a lot of stuff we engage with every single day. OK, lol. That was long enough!!! But I just had to get that out, LOL!!! 🤓👍🏻😎👍🏻🤓

Something seems wonky about the multiple degrees story. Seems weird to say "More degrees than I can count." Seems like you would at least state a number of degrees after working so hard for each of them.

Boss: Sew a uniform. Me: I don't know HOW to sew.

Who else laughed when Rslash said "boobies"?

I'd just like to take a moment to say pink used to be a masculine color in the 1920s because it was "more vibrant" than blue and thus "stronger" a color is a color if you ask me, but just say you're old fashioned when people want to say pink isn't a masculine color.

The story about the new parents with the crazy mother in law makes me so uncomfortable One, who cares if the baby is a girl? You should treat all your grandkids the same. And you never know if those kids are going to discover they feel differently later, so what is the point of making a big deal out of it? And the elders being upset about the babies color scheme? Who cares??? It’s disgusting that some people still see things in terms of pink and blue. I feel bad for all these grandkids, they’re gonna have some awful gender roles imposed on them by their extended family (if not by their parents)

I stopped a rSlash video to watch a rSlash video.

This is the first time I felt compelled to leave a comment. Your first story about the language teacher sounds completely real to me. I've spent most my life working as an ESL teacher outside of the us. The things I have seen are absolutely insane and this story seems 100% legit to me. I've had a couple of bad schools but I've also had some really excellent schools. Maybe I'll leave some of my own stories here later.

Final story: IANAL but it seems they asked for something completely illegal. Signed, sent and received on the exact date? That's not how it works, there are regulations for meeting terms and "too early" is most definitely not one of them. It would have been even funnier for OP to threaten them with a criminal complaint for attempted fraud. Here in Germany, you can absolutely cancel a contract the very moment it is agreed upon. E.g. telecom contracts often have a minimum duration of 24 months after which they are automatically extended by some more months. You can cancel the contract immediately, you just have to make sure that either the termination date is correct, i.e. 2 years in the future, or to use a phrase like "at the earliest possible date". (Again, IANAL but this is what I remember from grammar school and it has always worked for me.) The theoretical term I remember from school is expressed will (or consent). Once consent is *clearly* withdrawn, there's nothing the other party can do about it, other than offering voluntary incentives, of course. But if you e.g. write a wrong date on the cancellation notice, then they may argue that your will is unclear or conflicts with the contract or regulations, and you may have to send another notice and possibly remain party to the contract longer than intended.

When my landlord tried to keep our security deposit because of 'damage to the carpets' When I argued that,that was her builders taking them up to put heating in, she told me to prove it. So I did. On the day we were meant to be out I stayed.. all day. I sat and listened to the workers, took pictures, videos, found samples of mold in the carpet,and sent the evidence to the deposit people.. Got my deposit back in full. The best thing is the landlady, lived next door, and tried to say we had left rubbish outside the house. No...she just forgot to take the bin out 3 days after we left.

Reminds me of when my husband put his two weeks notice in recently. The next day, he was called into the office and was offered $2 more per hour than he was currently making, to start immediately. He stayed, of course, but I thought it was weird that they would make that big of an offer right away. Like, he wasn't worth that before, but when he planned to leave, suddenly he's worth it?

he uploads perfectly for breakfast in my time zone :)

"Papyrus" "Comic Sans" I bet those letters would be like: WELCOME TO THE UNDERGROUND! how was the fall?

The bleep from the "I don't give a f**k!" Made me diiiiiiiie. So hilarious 🤣🤣😁

From one to two years old babies don't care about clothes. In fact, at two years old my second nephew preferred to be naked. We had the Devil's time making him keep his clothes on and he really hated shoes until he was about three. I found it hilarious of course as my SIL and Bro were into the latest fashion crap and were buying the kid clothes that were way too expensive for something to be worn for just a few months. I really thought they learned their lesson the first time. Silly me.

I clicked faster than my dad left

First story : goodness me that principal is a nightmare!!

“As any high school boy will tell you, there’s nothing that turns a guy on like exposed shoulders.” He gets it!

An rslash video with under 500 views, OMG!

i was sitting on the channel because i realized i woke up early enough to catch an rslash video. Have a good day/night everyone, stay safe, i love you!

I'm retired, yay 🙂 I've worked for a few different companies here in the UK and in Germany and have had bosses that ranged from great to awful. After watching these and similar r/ videos, I've come to realise how lucky I've been. My worst boss seems like an angel compared to some that I've seen described here.

Those shoulders, just bring all the boys to the yard.😂

As a high school student, can confirm, shoulders get me going.

That second story, I'd take the 92k offer even if the original team countered with 93k. I'd rather a job that sees and pays you what they see as your worth right from the start rather than a job where you'd have to send out your resume *every* time you want a raise because they'll obviously try to lowball your worth.

First story sounds like my old high-school

Hey rslash. I just want to say I'm so grateful for your videos. I'm in the hospital battling covid and you just gave me a few minutes not to think about it so thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️

Originally, blue was for girls and pink or red was for boys, but then it switched somehow, for some reason.... guess that's what they get for not listening to the parents, who were at the APPOINTMENTS!

My niece loves wearing girly clothes and girly things. She often pairs them with animal knee socks and high tops, but that's her signature look.

When he says "follow my podcast where I publish the exact same episodes". I never understood. It sounds like the worst plug ever because if it's the exact same episodes why would we follow it? I love rslash, but just never understood that.

The " followed everything to the letter" joke 👌🤣

The petty mail report is just too much.🤣🤣🤣🤣

12:32 “From Papyrus to Jokerman to Comic Sans” Me: Don’t say it Brain: Say it Me: please no… Brain: SAY IT OMG ITS JOKER FROM BATMAN!

Rslash talking about being a new father makes me scream internally but... happy scream. Congratz Rslash and Mrs.Rslash!

As a man that was put in a dress as a child(my mother put a dress on me that didn’t fit my older sister just to see how it would look) I can assure you that it has no long term effects, other than huge embarrassment when your mom shows the picture lol

Story 1: I'd badly sew the uniform with goodwill sheets. I can sew and i make decent cosplays and alt fashion stuff. But noone and i mean NOONE is gonna tell me what to sew unless they're paying me.

I was brought to my parents in a blue blanket. My grandma was excited thinking she had a grandson, then everyone was told I was a girl. Don't worry grandma was nothing like the MIL, she in fact was my favorite grandparent and I was her favorite grand kid. She passed away a few years ago. I miss her all the time. (i'm getting teary just thinking of her now....) And blue is my favorite color as well.

Tell that mother-law that originally pink was for boys (representing knights in the crusades) and blue was for girls (representing the Virgin Mary). It’s only the last 100~ish years pink is for girls and blue is for boys.

Somebody should investigate that company for trying to get their older employees who earned their pensions well before turning 60 fired before they can collect it. That is too dirty to ignore or let slide any further.

Man I LOVE that 30 day notice malicious compliance;so creative!

Rslash: Makes fun of shoulder fetish Meanwhile me: has said fetish

The best response to people complaining about colors for babies: Purple. A mix of red and blue. Checkmate! :D And if they still bitch about the color, then just look all offended and say that you are adhering to the old traditions where purple was reserved for royalty and how DARE they suggest your little baby isn't royalty?!? :D

That comment about the shoulders just threw me back into highschool with our horrendous principal with huge double standards.

Lol I was just rping and it got emotional and this is making my day

Not shoulders. She was showing ankles.🤣🤣🤣🤣

the shoulders are the best part XD

First time I ever turned it off... the guy and all his degrees. too much for me. He belongs on r/thathappened

That guy going on about how many degrees he had really bugged me. Also, I'm pretty sure if he's 28 it's likely he can only really have a BSc (3/4 years), a MSc (1/2 years), and qPhD (3-7 years). Or just multiple BScs/MScs

2:42 in the UK, it's ankles. We had so many rules in secondary school about not revealing them. It. Was. Ridiculous.

I figured the first guy was going to walk away his patents.

1st story: In a lot of countries demanding that the women wear uniforms but not the men would count as discrimination. Also whats up with asking her to do extra work but not paying for it?!

Good morning everyone stay safe and enjoy your day ❤️ Also remember you are doing great 😃

As a boy when I was in high school nothing would turn me on like the sight of a boy's shoulders.

LMAO... the last story was insane. I'm gonna adopt this strategy next time I'm handling an insane landlord.

I'm pretty sure that first story would've been a textbook wrongful dismissal claim.

21 seconds ago, I feel like a celebrity

2nd to last story: I feel bad for that kid. He’s gonna be embarrassed as all hell when he grows up.

Honestly - everyone is crappy in the baby story, except for the baby. The mother in law may be dumb, self absorbed and entitled, but parents aren't much better for using the baby as a prop for their stupid petty comeback. It did not even achieve anything other than irritating the other relatives, who were fooled by the MIL. Besides, the internet remembers - who knows what the baby will think of the parents making a fool out of him in front of everyone on record once he grows up? Child grudges tend to accumulate, and seeing the kind of mean and petty relationships the family has - I'd guess it won't be the last one. Now the mature thing would be to make a big show of being all polite and mature, calling everyone who gifted the clothes, asking if they may have the checks so the clothes can be returned, being all sad and understanding if the checks are missing. And then very discreetly and insidiously say something like "Oh, you know MIL, whenever she gets an idea inside her head there's no talking her out of it"... In fact this is probably the best weapon the parents have to erode the MIL's trustworthiness and disarm her from any undeserved authority. Just needs to make sure to bring this mess up every time there's a family gathering or she does something stupid - just do it discreetly or sort of in jest.

#1: OP should have quit the minute the owner ordered her to sew her own uniform. #2: Glad the dad was able to vindicate himself. My old job tried that after a shooter got into our hospital. Administration tried to blame it on Hospital Police (I was the Security Systems Administrator). I pulled the video and card access logs and showed them an employee held the door open for the shooter [in violation of Hospital Policy regarding piggybacking on ID card swipes]. Proved it was an employee who let him in and the systems weren't at fault. Administration [and my boss] NEVER apologized. Retired from there 6+ years ago & I don't miss it in the least. #3: OP exactly...If I was worth more you should have been paying me more. #4: Now THAT'S Maliciouscompliance!!!!!!! #5: MIL was sooooo certain LOL!!!!!!!! #6: Yes...follow the rules to the letter...or they will.

Second story about the company firing employees just before they retire to avoid paying retirement money. I presume that this is in the USA. Here in the UK, pension funds must by law be held separately from the company, so if you leave or get fired or if the company goes under, your pension is not effected. In fact, this happened to a friend of mine. He worked for a large UK based company for a couple of decades, then one day got into a massive argument with a supplier and told them to f. off. He was fired. After a court case, he received a large financial settlement for wrongful dismissal and when he reached retirement age, was still able to draw his accrued pension from the company.

Fun fact: it was common practice to dress both boys and girls in dresses from 1850 to 1910. So really, those parents are just fallowing tradition

The teacher didn't say anything about wearing sock so she was probably showing her ankles!

that last pun was EPIC. i was just thinking "wonder if there is a joke letter in there" then you dropped it.

Well damn that’s well done OP
